Quickly collect the formative data you need to seamlessly measure student reading comprehension, identify skill gaps, and plan future instruction as you teach CommonLit’s 360 Curriculum
Is your team planning to implement CommonLit’s 360 curriculum at your school or district?
If so, our Unit Skills Assessments are the perfect complement; they make it extremely easy for teachers and instructional leaders to quickly capture student comprehension data and performance on key reading skills.
In this blog post, you’ll learn all about these easy-to-use assessments and how your team can unlock them for SY 23-24.
What are 360 Unit Skills Assessments?
Each unit in the 360 Curriculum comes with two Unit Skills Assessments that can be flexibly used to track student achievement. These assessments can be easily administered through CommonLit’s digital platform and completed by students in a single class period.
Each assessment includes a grade-level passage that aligns to the topics and themes discussed in that particular unit. They also include roughly 10 multiple choice questions and an optional writing question. These questions focus primarily on the skills that are explicitly taught in that unit.
Unit Skills Assessments can be easily assigned on our digital platform. Multiple choice questions are automatically graded, and open response questions come with exemplars and quick rubrics that help teachers grade student responses.
After students complete these digital assessments, teachers and instructional leaders receive easy-to-read data reports. These reports provide overall information about class trends, student comprehension, and how students performed by standard. With this data in hand, teachers can easily craft remediation plans to ensure that all students are able to continue making academic progress.
